Atos and HDF energy to develop the first green hydrogen datacenter
Paris, February twenty five, 2021,
Atos and HDF Power today announce their strategy to build a total conclusion-to-conclusion lengthy-phrase resolution to provide datacenters with environmentally friendly hydrogen produced by renewable electrical power. The new resolution by Atos and HDF will be the very first offered on the marketplace for datacenters with significant electric power consuming workloads, with the purpose to show, in 2023, a very first complete creation centre operated utilizing environmentally friendly hydrogen.
Atos will provide a total conclusion-to-conclusion environmentally friendly datacenter resolution by developing and furnishing the hardware, computer software and integration expert services that make it attainable to exploit the electric power made by environmentally friendly hydrogen so that it can be applied in datacenters. This incorporates utilizing the most sophisticated Synthetic Intelligence (AI) technologies to enhance electrical power consumption. HDF Power will provide a electric power plant, which will provide predictable and organization electric power many thanks to its higher-run fuel cells. These cells will be run by environmentally friendly hydrogen derived from photovoltaic or wind farms.
A significant technological obstacle
Datacenters have higher electrical power needs, run 24/seven, 365 days a calendar year, and are unable to knowledge the slightest electrical power flaw. Consequently, the technique taken by Atos and HDF is specially formidable, as by its incredibly character, solar or wind electrical power is clean but intermittent, variable in its creation and unpredictable, creating it an unstable electrical power.
At a time when datacenter electrical power consumption is getting to be a key concern and it is necessary to look at new electrical power models, this new resolution from Atos and HDF will empower datacenter operators and cloud operators to foresee likely foreseeable future constraints established by regulation authorities and offer a sustainable but dependable resolution to their consumers, with no compromise on their company.
Combining know-how to reduce the carbon footprint
Atos’ resolution incorporates a computer software layer to forecast the datacenter’s electric power consumption needs and adapt the useful resource (environmentally friendly hydrogen) appropriately. This complex method is not only centered on the datacenter’s exercise and dimensions but also normally takes into account exterior knowledge from the atmosphere, these kinds of as temperature forecasting. To this, Atos delivers its HPC know-how – an space in which it, as the top supercomputer company in Europe, has numerous groundbreaking improvements which limit the electrical power consumption of its devices[one].
Thanks to its know-how in higher-electric power hydrogen technologies, HDF has developed a new style of electric power plant which is absolutely secure, non-polluting and competitive, as opposed to fossil fuel turbines. The availability constraints of the datacenter will be included in the style of Renewstable® and will empower HDF to offer the maximum degree of company for the most demanding people.
“We are regularly looking for to build solutions to leverage our possess sustainable journey toward decarbonization and to assistance our shoppers in theirs. In this standpoint, the resolution to be developed by Atos and HDF will be the very first resolution offered on the marketplace that will empower a complete creation datacenter with incredibly demanding workloads to be operated utilizing environmentally friendly hydrogen. This satisfies the anticipations not only of operators, but also of the marketplace and community authorities.” claims Arnaud Bertrand, SVP, Head of Method and Innovation for Massive Knowledge & Safety at Atos.
“We are incredibly psyched to build the very first-of-its-sort environmentally friendly datacenter with Atos. HDF is a pioneer in hydrogen-electrical power and it is incredibly important for us to show that our Hydrogen-to-Energy solutions are suitable for consumers with a strategic want for a dependable electric power provide. This further more enhancement into the electronic field, wherever electrical power consumption is expanding every single working day, opens up a sizeable all over the world marketplace for us. The HDF-Atos partnership offers the very first special and sustainable infrastructure for this large marketplace.” claims Damien Havard, CEO at HDF.
This initiative signifies a new and significant milestone in Atos’ Net Zero 2028 decarbonization ambition. In 2020, Atos has currently accelerated its datacenter decarbonization application with encouraging progress in electrical power efficiency, which has materialized into a fifteen% minimize of worldwide electrical power consumption of Atos datacenters compared to 2019. In addition, carbon-cost-free and renewable electrical power now electric power fifty five% of all of Atos datacenters (compared to 32% in 2019). Also, considering that 2014, Atos has been furnishing carbon neutral web hosting expert services to its shoppers by offsetting 100% of its datacenters’ emissions. Atos also not long ago signed the Weather Neutral Datacenter Pact jointly with 35 other corporations and associations from across Europe, emphasizing the industry’s contribution to the ‘European Green Deal’.
